Encourage Greece, Romania, Slovakia, and Spain to reconsider their positions on Kosovo and work to ensure Kosovo has a credible and achievable pathway to NATO membership.

“Kosovo has demonstrated a clear commitment to regional stability and strategic alignment with NATO countries, but its progress toward alliance membership is being held back by a lack of recognition from a small number of Allies,” said Congressman Self. “Adding Kosovo to the alliance is essential to countering the growing influence of adversaries in Europe. The United States must encourage Greece, Romania, Slovakia, and Spain to reconsider their positions and ensure Kosovo has a credible and achievable pathway to membership.”

Self said the United States must encourage four NATO allies to reconsider their non-recognition of Kosovo and ensure Kosovo has a credible pathway to NATO membership.
